Your pocket can fit on a notebooking page. This is a smaller pocket to leave room for some writing on the same page.

Quentin chose to embellish his pocket and chose not to glue down the sides.

Quentin chose to make a President Washington pocket, so he included pictures of a cherry, a bullet and some hard tack to represent the Revolutionary War and The Declaration of Independence.

It made a little lapbook-type folder this way. In it we pictures of items that represent the person the pocket is about. Since Quentin's pocket was more like a folder, he glued his items down. If you choose to make it like a pocket, you can have loose items. They can be real items if they are small and flat, such as a button or a piece of yarn or cloth or you can draw the items and cut them out.
